A varied route for sporty "border crossers", because the hood tour runs between the Hessian and the Bavarian Rhön.

So, let's take a look at the southernmost part of the Fulda district today. We set off expectantly from the “Steiger” car park south of Heubach. Everywhere along the Hessian-Bavarian border…

This extra hike isn't enough for the 1.5-hour drive. The route from the parking lot to the observation tower is beautiful, the forest floor green with mosses and lichens. The descent from the tower is not without its dangers in rainy weather. After that, there's a lot of forest highway. Apart from two great picnic spots at Frauenstein, and just …

Hiking together is trending today 😊. A bit of the southern Rhöner, my, showing home was planned... I was missing that in the corner, this extra tour, maybe it's more attractive than "Der Mottener" 🤔 (even Söhni was already here 😃). Started at 9:30 a.m. on the P Steiger and "run off"... To be honest, like the Mottener, beautiful paths …

Beautiful tour, like all the extra tours I've done so far. From the parking lot, it goes up with a slight incline to the Mottener Haube. There is a viewing tower here, which you absolutely must climb.
Back down towards Jägereiche, an impressive tree that has suffered a lot.
Our destination is the inn at the Sparhöfe, where you can …

Nice route, tower on the "Mottener Haube" is great, with a wide view. Nevertheless, a journey of 1.5 hours was not worth it, long stretches from the tower are boring and you can hear the motorway too much.
After the tour of the Thai in Bad Vilbel it was worth the trip.
